The nurse is teaching a group of new parents about the experience of role transition. Which statement by a parent indicates a correct understanding of the teaching?
a. "My marital relationship can have a positive or negative effect on the role transition."
b. "If an infant has special care needs, the parents' sense of confidence in their new role is strengthened."
c. "Young parents can adjust to the new role more easily than older parents."
d. "A parent's previous experience with children makes the role transition more difficult."
ANS: A
If parents are supportive of each other, they can serve as positive influences on establishing satisfying parental roles. When marital tensions alter caregiving routines and interfere with the enjoyment of the infant, the marital relationship has a negative effect. Infants with special care needs can be a significant source of added stress. Older parents are usually more able to cope with the greater financial responsibilities, changes in sleeping habits, and reduced time for each other and other children. Parents who have previous experience with parenting appear more relaxed, have less conflict in disciplinary relationships, and are more aware of normal growth and development.
